"Ondertrouw van Lodewijk XV en Maria Lesczinska" (1727) by Leonard Schenk is a depiction of the wedding of King Louis XV of France and Maria Leszczyńska. The etching depicts the couple, along with a large crowd of onlookers, participating in a ceremony, likely the proxy wedding ceremony, where a representative of Louis XV married Maria Leszczyńska. This small, detailed engraving (158 mm x 183 mm) shows the solemnity of the event and showcases Schenk's skill in capturing the grandeur of the occasion. The artwork is housed at the Rijksmuseum.
